What you’ll need depends on the job, so it’s important to have your base plastering supplies at hand as a foundation. Generally, you can’t go wrong with these essentials:
When picking plastering tools, consider the size of your project and the type of finish you want:
For larger areas, opt for a wider plaster trowel to cover more ground quickly.
For detailed work or small repairs, a smaller trowel or specialised taping knife is better.
Look for tools with comfortable handles that feel good in your hand, as you'll be using them for extended periods.
Durable materials like stainless steel are also a plus, as they resist rust and last longer.
What's the difference between a plastering trowel and a finishing trowel?
A plastering trowel gets the bulk of the material down, while the finishing trowel refines it. Here is a deeper dive into their key differences:
A plastering trowel is generally larger and more robust, designed for applying initial coats of plaster or render to a surface. It's built for spreading material over large areas efficiently.
A finishing trowel, often called a skim coat trowel, is typically lighter and has a thinner, more flexible blade. It’s used for applying final coats of plaster to create a smooth, polished surface ready for painting or wallpapering.
